The 25-year-old midfielder, currently of Brazilian side Internacional, has never played in Europe before, but has caught the Gunners boss’ eye in recent times and could be in line for a move to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal had great success with the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona this summer, and could look to pair him up with one of his international colleagues.

Wenger is known to be on the lookout for new signings in midfield, and may have spotted a potential bargain in Aranguiz.
